Today we had great fun using paper mache to make our 3D robots strong and sturdy.
“I liked using paper mache for my robot because it was very messy!” – Innaya
“I loved doing the paper mache because it was fun and messy – afterwards my hands were very sticky!” – Kayleigh
“Today I enjoyed getting messy! The dried glue was peeling off my hands. I enjoyed making my robot stronger.” – Briony
“The paper mache was very fun. I liked sticking the paper on my robot.” – Alfie
Hopefully, tomorrow all the paper mache has dried. We will be painting on Wednesday as the Primary 5’s are out at swimming tomorrow and we don’t want them to miss out. Check our blog on Wednesday to see our robots coming to life!

We used adjectives to write some acrostic poems about volcanoes. We had great fun thinking of different words to describe sights, sounds and feelings associated with volcanoes. Have a look at some of our poems below. We hope you enjoy reading them 😀
Today we mixed vinegar, washing up liquid, water and red food colouring. We then added this to some bicarbonate of soda inside our volcanoes and there was a big eruption when all the chemicals mixed.
“The eruption was the best and coolest thing in the world!” – Iona
“I thought it was very cool!” – Kayleigh
“I mixed the bicarbonate of soda into the mix and it made the volcano overload with foam.” – Kieran
Have a look at our erupting volcano videos! 😀 (Videos will only play on a computer)
Today we had fun creating robots using 2D shapes. We experimented using different shapes for different body parts.Â

“Today I made a robot. I used a circle for the head and a rectangle for the body.” – Kai
“I used a square for the head and a rectangle for the body. I used more rectangles for the arms and legs then gave my robots wheels for his feet.” – Xander

This week Primary 4 won Prize 3 of the ME Time Awards, which was ‘Special Lunches’. Each day we got to go into the lunch hall a bit earlier than all other classes so we could get first choice for our lunch. We also had beautifully decorated tables with special stars and table mats, it was great!
‘I liked it because it was a little quieter when we got in the hall first.’ – Christian
‘I loved getting in earlier than all the other classes!’ – Megan C
‘It was excellent because we didn’t have to wait for our dinners!’ – Robbie
At Assembly on Monday we found out that we had collected most ME Time Tickets AGAIN this week and we have now won Prize 4, which is ‘The Big Day In’!! We are now thinking of some ideas for our celebrations! We can’t wait! 😀
Each day we enjoy taking part in different Maths Challenges to improve our speed and accuracy in different areas of Maths. Have a look at some of us taking part!
